THE EVENING DEMOCRAT.

We do not mean to proclaim our own praises, or put forward special pleas for public support. We are satisfied with the appearance our paper presents, for the one; the generous support we have received in less than three weeks of existence renders the other almost unnecessary.
 Still, we shall be grateful if this practi- cal testimony should continue to grow with our growth. The expenses of daily newspaper are extensive and exigent, re- quiring immediate money payments for everything; and we but ask that our sub scribers should fulfill the conditions of their contract by payment in advance. To each patron the sum is infnitesimal; to us the aggregate would be of importance and encouragement.
 Subscribers ordering the DEMOCRAT now will become only chargeable for pay ment from the first of January, 1888. We shall endeavor to do our duty for the classes and parties we represent-let these classes and parties give us the correspond ing duty of support.

LocalRorse Notes.

Dan Woodmansee, who shipped the great
Johnston to Philadelphia On Wednesday last.
says that after having the king of the turf
under his eyes daily for four years, the old
stables look really lonely without him. 1t
seems. he says, as though he had no horses
out there. The great horse was shipped to
Chicago, where he was taken Off the cars and
rested in good, comfortable stable for one
day nearly. and then reshipped so as to reach
Philadelphia Saturday. Dan did not dare to
ship him so that he would get into Philadel-
phia on Sunday. MrWoodmansee yesterday
received word that the great PAGER landed
safely in the Quaker City, where there was a.
great gathering to see him.
The management of the State Agricultural
society must feel eated over their victory in
the supreme court. in their case against
George Farrer. This is an important case to
all fair associations. and decides the trotting

the rules of the National association govern

AnImpor,ant Matter.

Through an error in printing. the circulars
issued by Capt. J. d. Wood, secretary of
the Minnesota Association of Trotting and
Pacing Horse Breeders, inviting nomina-
tons to the stakes of the association, state
that the stakes will close April 81. it should
be April 80. The stakes referred to will
close at u midnight. Saturday, of that date.
This should not be forgotten. 1t is tifider-
stood that an unusual amount OF interest is
being taken in these races, and that several
breeders are preparing for death struggle
for the supremacy. The reputation of their
stations is at issue. The fastest youngster
takes the business to his sire. The others are
left. The time is coming, and that, too,
quickly when the line will be drawn as
sharply in this respect here in Minnesota as
1t is in Kentucky. We now have the
Wilkes, the Nutwood. the Won Arnim, the
Lakewood, Jr., the Baymont and other
good strains Of blood here. The proof Of
the pudding is in eating it, The proof Of
the value of sire is his produce. Talk
will not do. The speed must be shown.
and those that do not show the speed will
not occupy the front rank. 1t is in these
colt-stake races that the proof will be fur
nished. When Patron trotted at three
years old in 2:1975 it gave Pancoast front
rank position. The same Will be the result
here. When Woodford Wilkes, or Empire
Wilkes. or Nutwood, or any other stallion
produces very fast one the sire must be
looked upon in proportion, and he will take
the cream of the business and the reputa-
ton. Remember that the stakes close at
II midnight, Saturday, April 80.

nerican Trotting asso-
AFive-Year-Oid purse.

A number of horsemen and breeders
have written to the GLOBE asking that this
paper suggest to the state fair people the
advisability of Offering a year-old
purse, open to all. Such purse would
undoubtedly bring some good ones from
Kentucky and New York. No doubt, if
such purse was offered. it would again
bring together the trio that fought out that
great battle in Chicago two years ago, when
Lord Nelson made his record of 1864 at
three years. His two antagonists were
jeanette and Williams. With those three
in a race great many people would go a
long distance to witness the struggle. Will
the state fair people consider the matter
faYOrably?
